THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1894.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter.

IN another column we print a prophecy which was made by James G. Blaine some time before his death, relative to what would be done by the Southern Democrats in abolishing the policy of Protection, and the consequences under which the American laborer would suffer as a result. The last year of Democratic rule has shown that Blaine was a true prophet, for just with the threat of a non-protective tariff factories have shut down all over the country, labor is unemployed, and gaunt starvation stalks abroad.

LAW AGAINST PROFANITY.

There are many persons who imagine there is no law against profanity, and that they can blaspheme with impunity on our public streets. To such we would

call attention to the following from the Laws of New Jersey for 1860, act of March 31, vis: "If any person shall

willfully and premeditatively blaspheme or speak loosely and profanely of Almighty God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit or the Scriptures of Truth, such

person, on conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $100, and undergo an imprisonment not exceeding three months, or either, at the discretion of the Court." It would

be well if our officials would see that this law is enforced. The profanity on

our streets is often shocking in the extreme.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE NEWSPAPER.

At a recent business convention Governor Francis, of Missouri, who is in a position to know whereof he speaks, paid tribute to the local newspaper as follows:

"Each year the local paper gives from $500 to $5000 in free lines to the communiry in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness with men he ought to be supported--not because you like him or admire his writings, but because the local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brilliantly edited or crowded with thought, but financially it is of more benefit to the community than the teacher or the preacher. Understand me. I do not mean mentally or morally but financially, and yet on the moral question you will find most of the local papers on the right side. To-day the editors of the home papers do the most for the least money of any people on the face of the earth."

THE AMERICAN FLAG. The bill passed by the House of Assembly to make it compulsory to float the American flag upon every school house in the State, is one which will meet the hearty approval of all true Americans. The youth of our country should have this emblem constantly before them. They should be taught what it represents and how much it has cost to establish American liberty on this continent. It is too often the case that the present monopolizes the entire mind of the scholar and leaves but little room for the past. Love for the flag should be systematically taught in the schools. What better way could be thought of than having that sacred banner floating above the youth while in study and at play? The man who calls this simply "sentiment and buncombe" argues himself either a fool or a knave. Any sentiment which will make the nation more patriotic should be encouraged. If America had exercised a little more such "sentiment" as the one proposed Fort Sumpter would never have been fired upon by citizens

of this country; the nation would have not known a debt of five billion dollars nor a sacrifice of thousands of human lives. By all means let the bill in question be made a law.

A PROPOSED LIQUOR LAW. A liquor bill has been prepared for presentation to the Assembly, which will cause no end of discussion, if it is ever reported on favorably by the committee to which it will be given. The bill has been drawn by John Whitehead. It is modeled after a Western law, which makes the sale of liquor practically prohibitory. This bill is particularly intended for villages and townships, but it will also have effect on city saloons. According to its provisions, an applicant for a liquor license must have his application signed by several local property owners and two bondsmen who will be held responsible for all violations of laws by the liquor seller. The bonds will be for $3000. Besides the usual excise regulations the bondsmen will be held responsible for all damages arising from the sale of liquor. For example, if the saloon keeper, for whom they have given bonds, sells liquor to a drunken man, they are responsible for damages. If the family of an intoxicated man can prove where he procured the intoxicating fluid they will have cause to recover

damages. If a man loses from his work, through liquor, his wife or family

will, under this proposed law, be given damages.

The Moderation Society has this bill in charge, and its members are circulating it throughout the State and obtaining signatures asking for its passage.

Sad Prophecy Fulfilled. James G. Blaine once used these mem-

orable words: "I love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country and know that the workingmen of this land are the best paid, the best fed and the best clothed of any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by all the comforts, and many of the luxuries of life.

I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this will

be changed, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land, who are now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread; that the day must come when the great factories and manufactories of this land will shut down, and where there is now life and activity, there will be the silence of the tomb. And the reason why this must be is this: The great southern wing of the Democratic party are determined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their northern allies. The fight is now on. There is a great body of visionary, but educated men who are employed day by day in writing free trade essays and arguments in favor of that doctrine, which find their way into every newspaper in this land. The great body of our people have never experienced, themselves, the sufferings which always result when the protective principles are laid aside. Poisoned and excited by the wild statements of the writers, and the demagogic appeals of Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which are now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocating the doctrine of protection. It must inevitably follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction of the principle of protection, will decline to engage in business, consequently mills will shut down and the workingmen will be thrown out of employment. The people will then see as they have never seen before, that they cannot be prosperous and have work while this principle is threatened. In the midst of their suffering they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood; because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut down there is no demand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor."

The Water-Platinum Pyrometer.

Experiments made with the water-plat-

inum pyrometer on the boilers of the Pacific mills, Massachusetts, have exhibited some important practical results. It was found that in the heart of an anthracite coal fire the temperature marked 2,426 degrees, while at the bridge wall it was 1,841 degrees, 895 at the entering tubes and 378 at the leaving tubes. In this case 20 pounds of air were supplied per pound of coal, usually, however, this amount being greater and having the effect of reducing the temperature. The method of making the tests was to heat

platinum balls in a crucible placed at the point where the temperature is desired, these, when heated, being removed and submerged in water. The weight of the

platinum being known and the weight of the water, it is easy to figure from the specific heats of the water and platinum, and the increase in temperature the water shows by immersing the balls, just how high the temperature of the balls must have been.--New York Sun.

A Much Robbed Stagecoach.

There is today in Phoenix, A. T., a stagecoach that has been held up and robbed oftener than any other in exist-

ence. It has seen its best days and now stands dismantled and dilapidated in the backyard of a livery stable, but could it talk many are the tales it could tell of brigandage that would lay the exploits of Claude Duval in their shadow. It began running in the seventies between Prescott and Tombstone and has actually been robbed 83 times. Eight drivers and as many express messengers have been killed from its box, and as many passengers in those days went armed to defend themselves and property, not a few fatalities have occurred among them and the brigands. It was originally a handsome Concord coach, pulled by eight mules, and cost $1,800 at Tuscon, but its sides are now split by rifle and pistol bullets, and in more than one place the leather lining shows the wild stroke of a bowie knife.--Los Angeles Herald.

Tamping and Ramming Boreholes. An innovation in mining work is an invention for tamping and ramming boreholes. The hole itself is made of a smaller diameter at the inner end where the cartridge is placed. A small wood disk rests against the shoulder made by the smaller hole and protects the cartridge. The tamping consists of blocks of compressed clay, which are broken up in the hole by the rammer.

The disk, blocks and rammer head are all perforated so that they can be threaded on to the fuse wires. Clay blocks are made at a very cheap rate by a simple machine, and by their use uniformity in the tamping material is secured.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

An Artificial Foot For a Peacock. We have heard of a cat with false teeth, a horse with spectacles, a cow with a wooden leg, and now here is a gentleman writing to The Field to ask where he can obtain an artificial foot for his peacock! This speaks well for humane people who love to be called foolish in a good cause. It will be real kind of The Field to publish the results of the naive inquiry, and how the peacock liked his foot when he got it.--Boston Herald. Cause For Laughter. The negroes in town are singing a new song, but not to a new tune. It is sung to the tune of "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay." We have been unable to catch all the words to the song, but here's part of the chorus: If you want to see the preacher laugh Just give him a dollar instead of a half. It is needless to say it would make the preacher laugh. It would make us howl.--Villa Rica (Ga.) News.

For Injuries Strangely Suffered. Suit to recover damages for personal injuries inflicted by a corpse has been brought against the Pennsylvania railroad by Lawyer J. Howard Morrison for August Johnson. In his statement of claim Johnson asserts that on Aug. 22 last he was at work constructing switch-

es along the line of the Trenton cutoff railroad, which is operated by the Pennsylvania railroad. As a rapidly moving train was approaching him an unknown woman attempted to cross the track in front of it. She was struck by the engine and instantly killed.

Her lifeless body, Johnson asserts, was thrown about 50 feet, striking him in the face and felling him to the earth.

He sustained a broken nose and other serious injuries, resulting in a spell of sickness, which forced him to spend a considerable amount of money for doctor's bills. Johnson asks for $5,000 dam-ages.--Philadelphia Record.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, March 12, 1894.

Women's Gloves. Where does a fine Glove tear! At the thumb, four times in five. Where does a fine Glove bind? At the thumb, if any where. No one knows this better than Glove makers. They've worked and worried over it, tried this and that, and in the end come back to the old way--oval cut thumb base.

All but one. He hit upon an idea that the others had missed. Simple of course--all these things are.

He just carried the thumb piece down to the button opening--and the riddle was read.

Courvoisier, the name--an old name. For years it has stood for the best quality of French Gloves. Now it stands for as near to Glove perfection as the manufacturing world has got. Thanks to the new thumb the Courvoisier Gloves are Better in fit, better for wear. than any others in the market. And the new excellence adds nothing to the cost! Women's four and eight-button Suedes, $1.50 and $2. Women's four-button Kid, $1.50, $1.75 and $2. Women's eight-button length Mousquetaire Kid, $2. We are sole agents in Phila-

delphia for these Gloves.

Baby Carriages. Baby will like to hear the first blue birds, and in a Carriage, of course. High time to be getting ready. The Carriage people have been doing their part and we have filled that Basement show-room with the temptingest lot of Reed bodies and easy running gears, and luxurious upholstery and pretty parasoling that was ever gathered in one place. New designs in the reed work--many of them exclusively our own. Original ideas in upholstering and trimming--always with a view to making baby more comfortable and mamma more pleased.

Prices pushed to the lowest point we ever knew--and that means below anything in the history of Baby Carriage re-

tailing.

Five of the specials: Carriages at $4.25. Well made reed body, cretonne cushions, silesia parasol, "C" and "S" spring running gear. Carriages at $5.50. Fine reed body, jute cushions, with plush head rell, silesia parasol, "C" and "S" running gear.

Carriages at $7. Fancy reed body, shellaced, cushions of novelty goods with plush head roll, silesia parasol, lined; coil spring running gear.

Carriages at $9.25. Fine reed body, shellaced, plush cushions, satin parasol, lined; coil spring running gear.

Or up to whatever price you please. You can choose this body, that style of running gear, and say exactly how the fitting up shall be done.

About Bicycles.

There's no more reason why you should pay $150 or so for a first-class Bicycle than why you should give say $75 for a high-grade Sewing Machine.

The time has passed when any maker of either Bicycles or Sewing Machines can monopolize the good things that go into either.

When we took up the Bicycle business last season it was to deal with them just as we deal with merchandise of every other sort--buy and sell them with-

out extravagant profit to anyone.

It would surprise most Bi-

cycle riders to know how little a first-class Wheel really costs.

But there are some necessary patented things that lift the expense a little.

We introduced the Continental last Fall. That was our name.

Wheelmen knew the Machine by another title--and gladly paid $150 for it.

We made the price $70! More than 100 of the Conti-

nentals went into hard use before the leaves fell. They were thoroughly tested. Makers, buyers and ourselves were all pleased. That is why the Continental is here again, 1894 model. Better than last year, and priced as temptingly.

Continental Full Roadster (34 lbs.) with Morgan & Wright tire, $70; same, with G. & J. tire, $75.

Continental Light Roadster (30½ lbs.) Morgan & Wright tire, $75; same, with G. & J. tire, $80.

In the old way of selling $150 or $160 would to-day be the price of our $80 Continental.

Maker's guarantee is behind each wheel. JOHN WANAMAKER.
